Setting Up AirPort Express

3

Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your AirPort Express and your wireless

network.

The setup assistant in AirPort Utility asks you a series of questions about the type of

network you want to use and the services you want to set up. The setup assistant helps

you enter the appropriate settings for the network you are setting up.

If you are using AirPort Express to connect to the Internet, you need a broadband (DSL

or cable modem) account with an Internet service provider, or a connection to the

Internet using an existing Ethernet network. If you received specific information from

your service provider (such as a static IP address or a DHCP client ID), you may need to

enter it in AirPort Utility. Have this information available before you set up your AirPort

Express.
